Welcome to EP216 of the NDYD Radio Show. I know I missed last week show so to make up for it I made this one twice as long and I have to admit it turned out to be one of my favorites episodes to record this year. For no particular reason except that every track in this show is the kind of track that will drag me to dance floor. In other words these are the kind of tracks that really get me going. I am so happy that producers are sticking with making fun groovy disco infused tracks as oppose to the EDM'ish tracks that were dominating the dance floors before the pandemic. Now clubs, promoters, and people  just want to get their groove on and have fun when dancing. I'm all for that. Enjoy!

The NDYD Radio Show EP216

Ricardo Torres is a West Coast DJ whose sound blends deep, soulful house and disco with the smooth, sun-kissed energy of Los Angeles. His mixes are crafted for true dance floor devotees—uplifting, groovy, and deeply rooted in the underground.

Ricardo began his DJ journey in 1987 at a college radio station in Montreal, later discovering Chicago House and falling in love with its raw emotion and rhythm. After moving to Los Angeles in 1995, he found inspiration in the city’s soulful spirit and from influential DJs like Jay-J, Marques Wyatt, Julius Papp, Mark Farina, and Miguel Migs.

An early pioneer of online mix sharing in 2000, Ricardo quickly gained international recognition, leading to global performances and radio syndication. In 2016, he partnered with Germany’s Nu Disco Your Disco (NDYD) to launch the NDYD Radio Show, a weekly showcase of modern Nu Disco and soulful house that continues to attract a devoted worldwide audience.

Across decades and evolving trends, Ricardo’s mission remains the same: to share music that uplifts, connects, and celebrates the enduring groove of house. The NDYD Radio Show airs live every Saturday on d3ep.com—1 PM in Los Angeles, 3 PM in Chicago, 4 PM in New York, 9 PM in London, and 6 AM Sunday in Sydney—bringing the West Coast vibe to listeners around the globe.
